Tonight we worked on Kapap Gun Disarming. We started inside the ac talking about awareness, distance, timing, relationship, position of hands, 2 points of contact, pull and push, relative position, body structure, presssure points and other topics. Then we went to the matt and worked slow. Then we did our 'take-the-ball-from-him' stress drill, and some other goodies like our now-famous Salamandra, rolls, sprints, rope climbing, and more. When everyone was exhausted we did more disarming... this time much faster and with immediate reaction. After that, we did a good 6 scenarios that involved real life situations. Please share your thoughts from tonight's work!

Tonight's work focused on releasing our friend from an attacker holding him up with a knife... by understanding the situation, the kind of angle with the knife, the way the attacker stands, spotting the tension points on the attacker, what is supporting him and what can break his structure. Then in one quick and precise movement we take action and allow our friend to 'escape' while controlling the attacker.

Please share your thoughts. What did you learn tonight? What was challenging? Etc...
